How can a petrol station have no petrol?

So, I drive up to Masterton. Tank is on empty. I pull into the Caltex petrol station just near Solway. A young man comes out instantly. Thank goodness, I think. My faith is restored in service stations provding service. Then the conversation goes something like this:

Petrol guy: Sorry, wev've got not petrol
Me: How can a petrol station have no petrol?
Petrol guy: Bad management - didn't pay the bills. Weve got no petrol.

Petrol guy walks off. I laugh and drive off. What else could I do? Except hope that I get to the next petrol station.

I laughed and drove off. When I arrive at then next petrol station, theres notices that you can only get petrol if you pre pay. Heck it was 6.40pm. Not fricken after midnight.....so I prepaid, on the basis at least I was getting petrol.

So, having prepaid I nip into Woolworths, Masterton for a few essentials. The guy in front of me is stoned or drunk out of his tree. It was only 645pm. The Woolworths guy sells him a 12 pack of steinglager. The guy walks off and forgets to take his Steinlager. Comes back, gets his Steinlager and then goes outside and hops on a fricken motorcycle. I closed my eyes. It was all too much. His friend says what took you so long. His friend hops on the motorcycle....

Only in Masterton.

I get to to the event I am going to (which is why I needed petrol) at the Masterton Museum and am served "free" Ata Rangi pinot noir.

Oh yeah, only in the Wairarapa do you get that juxtaposition. Well, of course you get it elsewhere too. Its just seems more marked.

Anyway, its but one of the reasons I kindof love my village.

Hey, there's a cute guy who works at one of those petrol stations. Did you see him?

No, because he works at the Carterton petrol station:-) - maybe that was my fundamental flaw - not filling up in Carterton!
